Chapter Eighty-Nine: Acting
"Woo woo woo ......"
In the Heart Cultivation Palace, there was a girl kneeling with a scorched body, tattered clothes, and a black ash on her face, whimpering and crying.
"I'm scared to death of the courtiers, woo woo woo ......"
Shen Feiluan trembled, obviously greatly frightened, and his eyes were red from crying: "The courtiers thought ...... The courtiers thought that they would never see the emperor again, such a big fire, all of a sudden, burned to the courtiers, the courtiers wanted to rescue those materials, but the fire was too big, the emperor - the courtiers have lost the emperor's trust, the courtiers should die woo woo woo......"
If she deserves to die, wouldn't the arsonist have to be torn to pieces?
Liu Pianran, who was kneeling beside her, was holding her slightly bulging lower abdomen, looking dazed, as if she hadn't figured out what was going on.
I haven't seen her for a long time, but her beauty is still the same, but her complexion is much darker, her hair is not as textured as before, the ends of her hair are slightly yellow, and there are still some split ends under closer inspection.
She went from a delicate beauty to a rough beauty.
Obviously, Liu Pianran did not have a good time in the backyard of King Yan during this time.
Without Jiang's perfumer, she couldn't even maintain her beauty.
The emperor had a gloomy face, squinting his eyes to look at Liu Pianran, and occasionally his gaze would fall on Murong Zhai.
He suspected that King Yan wanted to make a fool of the prince, so that he could not get disaster relief materials, and made a fool of himself in front of the people of Yanzhou, which damaged the prestige of the prince.
Such a practice of harming others and benefiting oneself made the emperor disgusted.
Although he is not a good emperor who is diligent in government and loves the people, and forgets to sleep and eat for the people, he is by no means a faint king who kills innocents indiscriminately and jokes with the lives of the people in order to achieve his own goals.
"Father, there must be a misunderstanding in this."
Murong Zhai lifted his robe and knelt down: "Erchen has been with Concubine Liu all day today, where did she have the time to arrange these things?" ”
Shen Feiluan wiped her tears and complained: "King Yan and Concubine Liu Shu are a family, so naturally help her speak." She doesn't need to put the fire herself, so what does it have to do with you all day? The black-clothed man who set the fire all admitted that he was from Yanwangfu, and the dead duck had a hard mouth, I really opened my eyes. ”
The sound was not loud, just enough that the other three people in the hall could hear it.
The emperor's face became more and more ugly......
"Father, the son really didn't protect Concubine Liu, someone must be to blame for this matter."
It was only clear that Shen Feiluan colluded with the prince and was embarrassed.
"What does His Royal Highness King Yan mean?"
Shen Feiluan snorted coldly: "Could it be that I burned my own warehouse and lost tens of millions, just to blame you?" Can I know the prophet that you will send the men in black to set fires? Can I know about the snow disaster in Yanzhou and prepare supplies in advance? His Royal Highness King Yan is not good, the thief shouts to catch the thief, and it is quite slippery to beat a rake. ”
She also has a point.
The emperor now seriously suspects that the eighth child is borrowing the hand of Concubine Liu to avenge his loss of the crown prince.
The ruthless emperor can accept it, but he can't use unscrupulous means.
He was afraid that one day, the eighth child would use this method on him.
Jing Zhaoyin really couldn't see it, tried his best to suppress his anger, and presented the token in his hand: "His Royal Highness King Yan doesn't have to worry about him left and right, Weichen believes that His Highness doesn't know, but sometimes the wasp tail needle is the most poisonous woman's heart, and His Royal Highness has to guard against it!" ”
Wang Dehai took the token and presented the emperor with a bronze token, on which a swallow character was impressively printed.
Before entering the palace, Jing Zhaoyin went to the Yan Wangfu and asked the people of the Yan Wangfu that this token did belong to the Yan Wangfu.
Because bronze was used by the royal family, it was not circulated by the people, and the token could not be counterfeited.
"Smack!"
The token was smashed down by the emperor and landed in front of Murong Zhai, if it weren't for Liu Pianran's pregnancy, I am afraid that she would have been smashed to the point that her head would be bleeding.
Shen Feiluan didn't cry anymore, but suddenly thought of something, and cried angrily again: "Your Majesty, the slave Pei Or you gave to the courtiers was also burned to death by Concubine Liu, these days when the courtiers were sick, they relied on punishing the slave for fun, did Concubine Liu know that the courtiers were in the warehouse before they went to set fire?" Does she want to burn Pei Or, or does she want to burn her courtiers? Today the courtiers must be given an explanation. ”
She gritted her teeth, hating and angry that she had one less slave to humiliate.
"Pei or is he dead?"
"If you go back to the emperor, it is true...... A charred male corpse was found, and the bone age of the corpse was examined, which matched Pei He's age. ”
The emperor didn't expect that it was Liu Pianran and Shen Feiluan who pulled out the sting in his heart.
He sighed heavily, as if he felt sorry for Pei He, and then his expression was obviously relaxed: "You are the public who says that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable." Concubine Liu Shu is pregnant with the flesh and blood of King Yan, and I can't punish her. It's not as good as this, I decreed that Shen Feiluan be named the lord of Ningyang County, as for the losses caused by this fire, you make a list and let Yanwangfu compensate according to the price. ”
Shen Feiluan still wanted to argue again, but the emperor had already issued an order to expel the guests, and both sides were dissatisfied, and they didn't dare to entangle too much.
When they left the Heart Cultivation Palace, the emperor immediately summoned his henchmen and guards and asked him to go out of the palace to investigate, is Pei He really dead?
After many years of heart disease, he has an illusory and unreal feeling, which he can't believe if he doesn't see it with his own eyes.
Liu Pianran caught up with Shen Feiluan, who was walking briskly, and grabbed her sleeve: "Shen Feiluan, you dare to act in front of the emperor, the crime of bullying the king is to kill your head." ”
"Concubine Liu threatens me?"
She hid behind Jing Zhaoyin and several officials with tears in her eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Uncles, I'm so scared!" ”
What's wrong with acting?
She can not only act in front of the emperor, she can act anytime and anywhere without picking a scene.
Jing Zhaoyin had a calm face and protected Shen Feiluan behind him: "Concubine Liu, the palace is not a place for you to come from, if you are pregnant with a royal heir, you should meditate more, don't make a big move, it is not good for the fetus." ”
The officials who can be in charge of Dali Temple, Jingzhao Mansion, and the Criminal Department are already iron-faced and selfless, bold and cold, otherwise they will not be able to bear this responsibility.
Not to mention that it is just a princess of the palace, it is King Yan himself, in addition to respect, they are not afraid of this word.
"You ......"
"Enough!"
Murong Zhai took her hand and pulled her back, and said to Jing Zhaoyin with a dark face: "Concubine Liu Shu is pregnant and emotionally unstable, please forgive me, she is also unintentional." ”
Pregnancy has become her gold medal for avoiding death, and arson and murder can be easily revealed, is such a dynasty really worthy of their allegiance?
Only the lives of the Murong family are lives, and the lives of others are not lives?
The expressions of the several adults did not improve much, and they arched their hands at Murong Zhai, then turned to Shen Feiluan and said, "Second Miss Shen, we are going out of the palace, if you don't dislike it, you can go with us!" ”
lest he be bullied by Concubine Liu again.
